This is not true! Methane is not only 84x more warming than CO2, it is at a record high at <1900ppb and rising, the current level is higher than the RCP 4.5 warming scenario by the IPCC (which is in the middle level of a warming scenario

Given the projected savannization of much of the Amazon Rainforest, and the current drought being a preview of that, I don't think it's safe to assume the staying power of it's hydro. Damming of rivers also has drammatic impa

Fixed it for you: EVs are a textbook case in falling in love with a solution, not the problem. The focus should be on producing an efficient, reliable and cost effective _public transit systems_ that are widely accessible to as many people

I'm not sure what you mean by absolute temperature level vs relative temperature. The reason that these finding are important is because 1. The climate goals set in the Paris Agreement are looking realistically more impossible by the d

It's not so simple. 1.5C was decided on after assuming 2C would be fine after (warranted) political pressure from more at risk countries. What are the risks is really more about climate sensitivity than a specific temperature, think of

Volts Podcast had an interview with the CEO of KoBold. It was definitely interesting and a needed improvement in finding resources considering the stakes. Hoping this isn't a Jevons Paradox and we don't ruin equally valuable ecosy

I didn't expect it to turn around. More like selling mining rights, but reading this article it seems like the mining footprint of this project is particularly small

I remember watching a documentary on the Salton Sea and it interviewed some residents who were holding out that eventually there was gonna be a turn around and kept buying real estate in the hope of that. I wonder how they're fairing n

I think you and the poster are in agreement. The significance is that you wouldn't need knitted gloves in Mediterranean climates. So if this was for some other use or as a novelty, you'd expect it evenly distributed throughout the

I love this idea! Looks like it works brilliantly too

Is there enough office space demand for a building this size in Oklahoma City? Seems like a strange time to be building giant buildings for office space. It seems like the smaller buildings will have some housing, but still strange.

Please do it with an experienced friend! High doses like that can be really jarring for your first time if you're not in a good location with someone who knows how to remain chill on them

Yeah I see this as making a lot of sense for armies as a first customer. Highly mobile, reliable energy supply you can set up anywhere (assuming their claims are correct)

A population is not a species. Species declines means all populations of said species are simultaneously in decline

The author is conflating two things, the fact that change has occurred with the rate of the change. And that one species is threatened vs entire ecosystems. I don't think there is anyone scientist saying if earth transitioned slowly ov

An even stranger but annoying problem is even if you buy 100% cotton, the stitching is usually a polyester. It is difficult to buy cotton threads for home sewing

I read a lot about these sort of bleak predictions from people very in the weeds on the topics, but rarely see it being surfaced in a way that's easily citeable. I've seen second hand reports that the Amazon rain forest will exper

I've been wondering this as well. Everything I've read online says it's not at all likely given how much energy we would be pulling out. However, I've also seen statements that earth produces 47 terrawatts of energy (unc

This was a great simple, explanation of the reason for the harm and why small amounts matter. Thank you

I'm not sure how true this is. We definitely have evidence of ethnic cleansing in the paleolithic archeological record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_warfare

The evidence seems quite good that this was intentional. The paper found evidence of both using stone tools and fire to shape the notches. Using fire as an aide to woodworking is well known and still exists today in some traditional forms o

Well it's actually not a 20% or 50% chance of rain. It's that it will definitely rain but only for 20-50% of the projected area forecasted

This doesn't seem to me that it's "no-emission" it reads more that it the co2 is captured at the source. As a lay person I would assume "no-emission" means no co2, but maybe I'm wrong here?
